          The news that Mike Clevinger is now going from the Cleveland Indians to the San Diego Padres really should not alter his fantasy trajectory all that much. Sure, the Padres score so many runs and play in a pitcher-friendly ballpark, but Clevinger was already among the top starting pitchers in the sport, rostered everywhere. Those in NL-only formats should clearly go after him, though for weekly leagues that might mean waiting until the end of this week.
